Still no word on what the Sonics are going to do regarding Damien Wilkins. Here's a quick bit from the St. Paul Pioneer Press:

"Briefly: [T-Wolves GM Jim] Stack said there was no indication whether the Seattle SuperSonics would retain restricted free agent Damien Wilkins. Minnesota made a five-year, $15 million offer to Wilkins last Thursday. The Sonics have until this Thursday to match the offer and thereby retain Wilkins."

Two quick takes:

If I'm Rick Sund, I would really think long and hard about if I want to commit five years worth of money to a guy who can't hit 30% from 3-point range, and who will never start on my team because he's stuck behind two much better players.
